I’ve
been a vegetarian for 30 years. Some people go vegetarian for health reasons, some for ethical reasons. Some feel it is the
‘green’ thing to do. I think we’re overlooking one more important thing: vegetarian food is delicious.

Who says you can’t be a veggie and a foodie? I can’t
understand the visual appeal of a chunk of grey meat. The gorgeous colours, smells and tastes of fruit and vegetables, grains
and pulses, herbs and spices... that’s what gets me going. The way flavours can subtly mingle to create fantastic new
taste sensations. The way the alchemy of cooking can transform a root vegetable into a jewel.

My cookery, and my
food writing, is about celebrating food, and making every dish a sensual treat. I take care over how food looks,
the colours, textures and contrasts on the plate, and the fragrance that it creates in the kitchen. Who would plod along with
meat and two veg when there is a world of vegetarian flavours out there to explore?

Having been associated
with The Vegetarian Society since the 1980s, I have a clear understanding of the meaning of the word ‘vegetarian’
and daily access to experts - the people who know which beers are vegetarian, which cheeses are made without animal rennet,
which chocolates are gelatine-free.

I have a BA in English and an MA in Scriptwriting for Television and Radio. I
also have 20 years’ experience of working in publishing, as an editor, production manager and small publisher. Above
all, I can deliver engaging, attractive features, on time, and often at short notice.
